Bills switch out rookie running backs

Two days ago undrafted free agent running back Chris Douglas was brought down hard on a tackle by safety Delano Howell. He remained on the ground and limped off with trainers in tow.

Two days later, Douglas is out of a job.

The Buffalo Bills announced Thursday morning that Douglas has been Waived/injured, paving the way for an open roster spot. In the place of Douglas, the team also announced they have signed undrafted free agent running back Zach Brown.

Brown played with the Pitt Panthers last season, and spent the previous three seasons to that one as a member of the Wisconsin Badgers. Through his four-year career, Brown totaled 1,509 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns between the two schools. He was invited to and participated in the Bills' Rookie Mini-Camp in May.
